None of these street clocks seem to exist anymore.
I can't identity the clock at 1:52 as to the maker - I think this is on Washington Street ?
The clock at 2.13 has an E. Howard Post - with 4 dials.
The clock at 4:15 - is also has an E. Howard post with 2...

Re: Polaroid Building additional images
The BB Chemical lettering is cool - sort of art deco.
I think the Polaroid lettering was more in keeping with the 1950's/1960's era.
This is a larger version of the 1930's brochure.
And a recent photograph of the clock - the Roman numerals are...
